The more observant readers of this blog may have noticed that I blabber on about Thailand every January (see here, here, here, here and here for examples).
I travel to Bangkok each year to supervise 20 lucky (and talented) students who work intensively on ‘real’ company projects. It’s a fantastic learning opportunity for all involved (including me).

Here’s some more on what we were doing in Bangkok (a story I wrote for the Aust-Thai Chamber of Commerce magazine – see pages 5-9) – just click on the picture:
